- Description
- The Air Force Flight Test Center, Directorate of Contracting, Edwards Air Force Base California, intends to award a sole source commercial purchase order to Viasat. This acquisition is for a Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Flight Recorder. It connects directly to the Support Port of the MIDS terminal without the need for a device to convert from the terminal's AUI format to Ethernet. In addition to recording all transmitted and received messages, the Support Port records data not normally available on the 1553 bus including transmissions originated by the terminal such as its own PPLI, Initial Entry messages, machine receipts, and relayed messages, as well as navigation performance data, signal quality measurements, and digitized voice. In addition to the AUI interface, the Flight Recorder includes two 1 PPS timing signals inputs. The fractional difference between these is periodically measured and recorded to facilitate correlating Link-16 data (time-tagged with JTIDS network time) with TSPI data (time-tagged with GPS UTC time). The recorded data is stored on removable Compact Flash. A software utility package is included which allows the Test Analyst to specify exactly what data is to be recorded (FIMs, FOMs, DTBs, IDBs) without impacting the mission computer. This software package also includes data extraction routines to support analysis of the recorded data. The Flight Recorder requires 28V aircraft power, weighs less than 5 lbs, draws less than 5 amps, and meets the following environmental specifications: Operating temperature -20?C to +71?C Non-Operating Storage temperature -40?C to +71?C Humidity 100% relative humidity, with condensation Altitude 50,000 ft. Explosive Atmosphere 50,000 ft per MIL-STD-810 method 511.3 Procedure I Random Vibration 30 minutes each axis Gunfire Vibration 12? from muzzle, sinusoidal over random, 15 minutes each axis Crash Safety 40 Gs longitudinal, 20 Gs vertical, 15 Gs lateral EMI MIL-STD-461E The North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) is 334511 and the size standard is 750 employees. All responsible sources may submit a response, which if timely received, will be considered by the AFFTC. Contact: Judy K.
